I can't say whether this Riviera is a good deal or not...

...but if you live in California, it DOESN'T require the smog test!
I sure wish my Riviera was a pre-1976 model. It would make life so much easier. _________________ -Kent-

You would STILL be fighting those aftermarket carburetors…
Now THERE is a Type 4 engine with proper dual carburetors! THAT would have saved you a few months of parts hunting!

I was thinking that looked like a pretty good deal when I saw it. If I were in the market and near by, I'd go see it for sure. _________________ Brutis Patches Izabich: 1970 VW Transporter - 1776cc DP

I pulled two 69' bays off an organic "pharm" two days ago. My wife couldn't say no because they were free! I pulled both buses by my mechanic friend and he had one motor running after 20 minutes! It had been sitting for 11 years. The other motor was not seized as well! It's all there, the motors, trans, keys the rusty holes, black widows and wasp. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Sorry for the ramble but I'm super pumped as these are my first two VW. Can't stop thinking about the possibilities.
